I'm beginning to think that this more of an extremely SP'd parallel set. I would have compared this to the Pie in the Face cards from last year (and was actually going to), but it may be possible that EVERY card has this "sunburst"/"sparkle" variation.

I tend to not like Gimmick cards, but I feel like this is particularly bad--worse than the PITF cards.

My reason is simple: the sparkle is nothing but a unnecessary, contrived addition that doesn't even add to the aesthetics of the card--in most cases it distracts. At least the PITF cards were actually different looking cards.
